I've seen Traceyjay Quilts before, and she does beautiful stuff. But I recently came across her Chubby Stars Quilt Along and became a follower all over again :) So darling!!! She's got great projects, check out her Quilts of 2011, some really creative things! Today she's sharing a quilt with us for her unborn baby. She doesn't know what she's having, they're waiting until the birth, but she's prepared just in case!

Dear baby... if you're a girl...

...then this will be your quilt.

And if you are a girl, I will love watching you work to hold your head up, and look at those stars...

And I will love seeing you snuggle in all its softness.

And drag it all around the house (your big brother is getting a head start - you might have to fight him off).

Fabric: Modern Meadow with City Weekend, Farmdale with Hideaway, Katie Jump Rope with DS quilts, and Meadowsweet 2 with Sunkissed.

Binding: DS quilts tile

Quilting (my favorite I've done so far) - a cross hatch at one inch intervals. I didn't plan it, but it makes an almost perfect grid all over the whole quilt -- evenly dividing the blocks and the quadrants... that was a happy, unplanned coincidence.
